    Lightbulb New Kilt vest/

    On my return trip to Florida, I took a short cut{well sorta of} and ended up in Franklin N.C.. So why not drop by and say Hi to my good friend Matt, and finally get a look see at his business, and may be do some shopping too while I'm there.

    After a warm greeting and catching up on our gossip, Matt got busy on the phone so it left me some time to snoop around on my own, I was the only one there. great time to nose in all the nooks and crannies! Well I couldn't find anything I couldn't live without and Matt found me the vest I have been looking for, and it was just in my size for a change , it fits GREAT.

    When I get home I will take a pic and post it when I can get all decked out.

    Thanks Matt for the warm welcome and the great vest, that I really needed!

    Nice find, but remember:

    Thanks for popping in and being our best customer of the day yesterday! I only wish the weather had been better for you.

    The rain was coming down in sheets all day yesterday, and JolyStNicholas had to drive through all of it. There was nary a soul venturing out on the streets and sidewalks of downtown Franklin, unfortunately.

    Can't wait to see the waistcoat on you with the kilt!

    Maybe we can get together for lunch next week and I'll get a photo of you in the vest. Might be a bit warm for a vest still, but it's never too warm for lunch.

    It is nice to have the STM all to yourself isn't it? I look forward the photos.

    Talking

    Just got home this afternoon, much better driving today than yesterday! Made good time without the rain.

    Got the car unloaded and now it's time to relax. I promise I will take photo's tomorrow and get them posted. I got a call from my tailor, and have to go in for a fitting on my new Swordsmen vest he is making, so I will have the pic's done then.

    Lunch does sound great for anytime this week. Just pick the day and place. Any one else want to join in just watch the post and be there. We usually go on Fridays.

    Matt, looking forward to seeing you at Stone Mountain next month. Don't forget to call if ya need a helping hand!
